Sparkling like aluminum siding, this campy, caustic musical fable is rife with adultery, strippers, murderous ex-boyfriends, Costco, and the Ice Capades. Complete with a trashy Greek chorus of trailer park divas, Armadillo Acres is Florida's most exclusive mobile home community. But when a stripper on the run comes between an agoraphobic housewife and her tollbooth collector husband, the hurricane of laughter begins to brew. Revel in all things trashy.
The Great American Trailer Park Musical is directed and choreographed by Courtney Oliver (Debbie Does Dallas) and features Playhouse on the Square Resident Company Members Morgan Howard, Claire Kolheim, Richie MacLeod, Carla McDonald, and Caroline Simpson with Carly Crawford (Peter Pan), and Kent Fleshman (Xanadu) reprising the role of Norbert.
The Great American Trailer Park Musical runs tonight, February 28 - March 23 at The Circuit Playhouse. The Pay What You Can performance is Thursday, March 6 at 8:00 pm. The Circuit Playhouse is located at 51 S. Cooper Street in Midtown Memphis. For more information or to make reservations, call 901-726-4656 or purchase tickets online at playhouseonthesquare.org.
